January 2010

You are currently browsing the monthly archive for January 2010.

I don’t know how many of you saw our blog where we made the furniture announcement but we’re giving away all the furniture in our guest room so we can convert it to a nursery.  Attached are pictures of everything minus the Queen bed as we’ve had two inquiries about it already.

If you want anything in there, please let us know and we can figure out either a good time for you to come get it or a way to get it to your abode. If you have any friends that are interested, they are more than welcome to come get it.*

List of Furniture:

  • Queen Bed – frame, mattress, box spring (possibly spoken for – if not, I’ll let y’all know)
  • Dresser – Cherrywood, 3 drawers
  • Bookshelf – 2 shelves
  • Entertainment unit – Blonde/silver, several shelves
  • Coffee Table – matches the entertainment unit
  • Electronics – 19″ TV, DVD/VHS player, Tuner, Stereo/Speakers

Anything that isn’t spoken for by, oh say, the 25th of January is getting donated to Goodwill as we need to get moving on getting the room cleaned and painted and ready for the little one before I’m too big to help!

Thanks, guys!

* Offer good for residents of Atlanta only.  Sorry out of towners!

And it is….

A GIRL!!!

Little Olivia Lynn Wright will be born sometime between May 4 and May 12, 2010 and we cannot wait to meet her!

I say between May 4 and May 12 because she’s already ahead of the game coming in at 1 lb. 4 oz.  This puts her about a week ahead of schedule so they might adjust my due date later if needed.  For now, they’re leaving it the 12th unless she has another major growth spurt and decides to say hi early.

Needless to say, Stephen and I are extremely excited to be having a daughter.  So far everyone in my family that has had children (my brother and two cousins) have all had boys and Stephen is one of three boys so a girl is a very welcome change to the mix.

Olivia will be spoiled rotten.

Rotten.

Stephen is currently shopping for a shotgun.  ;)

Other than that, she’s healthy as can be – all her measurements are within the normal range.  And I am doing well, too – my LEEP procedure back in May is having no adverse affects on my cervix or the pregnancy so that’s a sigh of relief.  To top it off, so far every one of my blood tests has come back with great news.  I’ve been tired as of late but I attribute that to the holidays and lots of visiting and being “on” for many people.

We’re nearing the 6 month mark, just a few short weeks shy of the third trimester.  We’ll be taking a tour of Northside Hospital soon and attending a birthing course taught by the midwives at our clinic in the next couple of months.

After that it’s shower time!!

Nursery

The big news with the nursery concerns the furniture currently in the guest room.  Some of it is already potentially spoken for but we are giving away the guest room furniture to any friends and family in the Atlanta area who wants it.  We unfortunately have no room for it and need to be rid of it this month so we can move on to painting and getting the nursery furniture from IKEA.

Anything that doesn’t get taken by the end of January is getting taken to Goodwill for donation.  So, if you are interested, give Stephen or myself a ring or shoot us a message on Facebook/Email/Here and we’ll let you know what’s available.

So much to do and so many exciting things happening!
